Answer:

Current would decrease 9 times.

Explanation:

Assume all others (potential difference U, resistivity ρ, and length L) are the same, only change in the diameter, we would have the following ratio

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{U/R_1}{U/R_2} = \frac{U}{U}\frac{R_2}{R_1} = \frac{\rho L/A_2}{\rho L / A_1} = \frac{\rho L}{\rho L}\frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{\pi d_1^2/4}{\pi d_2^2/4} = \frac{4\pi}{4\pi}\left(\frac{d_1}{d_2}\right)^2 = 3^2 = 9

I_2 = I_1/9

So the current would decrease 9 times.

An electric motor does 900j of work for 8 hours. Calculate the power used​
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

0.031 W

Explanation:

The power used is equal to the rate of work done:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

P is the power

W is the work done

t is the time taken to do the work W

In this problem, we have:

W = 900 J is the work done by the motor

t = 8 h is the time taken

We have to convert the time into SI units; keeping in mind that

1 hour = 3600 s

We have

t=8\cdot 3600 =28,800 s

And therefore, the power used is

W=\frac{900}{28800}=0.031 W

With the same block-spring system from above, imagine doubling the displacement of the block to start the motion. By what factor
Fofino [41]

Answer:

A)     K / K₀ = 4   b)     v / v₀ = 4

Explanation:

A) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

in the problem it indicates that the displacement was doubled (x = 2xo)

starting point. At the position of maximum displacement

      Em₀ = Ke = ½ k (2x₀)²

final point. In the equilibrium position

      Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        ½ k 4 x₀² = K

        (½ K x₀²) = K₀

         K = 4 K₀

          K / K₀ = 4

B) the speed value

          ½ k 4 x₀² = ½ m v²

          v = 4 (k / m) x₀

if we call

           v₀ = k / m x₀

          v = 4 v₀

         v / v₀ = 4
